-
- These are some instructions on installation and building of the software in
- this distribution.
-
- To use the software in this release, you must first uncompress and untar
- the distribution file.
-
- This will create a directory called wais-8-b4, with a number of
- subdirectories.
-
- To build the software, first modify the file wais-8-b4/Makefile according
- to the comments to conform to your particular Hardware/Software
- architecture. You will have to set the variable "TOP", as this is not done
- automatically. Be sure to comment out the lines that ay "comment-me". Then
- simply type "make".
-
- Most of the software will be made automatically, but the X windows user
- interface may not be made due to your particular system's installation of
- the X windows base software. New with this release is an Imakefile, which
- can be used to create a Makefile that includes the locations of the X
- software for a particular site. If you can build an X application, you
- should be able to build xwais.
-
- More information on this release can be found in the README file in this
- directory.
